Here's the Newest Strategy

This week the Superintendent Garry McCarthy launched what he is calling the Gang Violence Reduction Strategy.

It's a system that will help police do more than just react to the shootings and killings that have put the city in the national spotlight this summer. It coordinates and streamlines gang intelligence to help the cops on the street be more proactive, and prevent more violence.

It's a scene that plays out every single night on Chicago's streets; shootings that so far this year have left more than 1,200 people injured and more than 275 people dead.

As far as we can tell, it's another series of screens in the arrest reporting process that gathers data. Nothing earth shattering. Not really a new "strategy" either.

Here is what the scumbags at City Hall and 35th Street are cooking up.

Dump a shitload of P.O.s out of districts and make them unhappy (they know it will take a while for the union to have the grievances settled just like the sergeants and lieutenants in regards to their “Station Supervisor” grievances.

THEN, they will be given an opportunity (REAL SOON) to join a new “SOS” or “TRU” unit that will be utilized throughout hotspot areas so the Violence Initiative special employment can be canceled.

The P.O.s and Sergeants may think this is an opportunity to get off midnights and straight afternoons. Or get them out of some shit district. HOWEVER, in the end they will be screwed AGAIN!!!Remember this everyone: Rahm and Company are nothing but SCUMBAGS. Do NOT allow them to take one inch.

We do not have enough people in the Department to fully implement this horse shit strategy. I could see this going way south when my witnesses tell me a completely different story of events then they told the Gang/Tact guys. My supps may end up giving a different version of events then what the gang guys submitted. Can anyone see this becoming an issue in court? When all reports submitted for a particular case are discoverable?

Okay who's the wise guy that stuck that word "gang" in the strategy name?

I don't like the word gang. Don't you realize all the scary images that people conjure up when we use that word? We need to be more careful.

What ever happened to the word crew and why ain't we using that word instead?

You got your painting crew and your construction crew -- a ship has a crew and so does an airplane. Crew is a lot less scary.

Just by uttering the word gang is like an admission of a problem. Which reminds me...what's with the name Cease Fire. OMG look at what that implies and the images people will conjure up with that name.

North Korea just the other day sent the Asian stock markets into a dive when they said we will have a major announcement at 12:00 noon local time.

South Korea ran over to their seismic monitors to see if Kim Jong Un set off a nuc. The borders were locked down and then it came out later that the man just gave himself yet another new title.

North Korea's Kim Takes on Marshal's Rank‎Wall Street Journal - 19 hours agoNorth Korean leader Kim Jong Eun added a new military rank—marshal—to his list of other titles, the North's state media announced

A Cook County sheriff's corrections officer was killed late Wednesday night in an apparent hit-and-run accident outside the Cook County Jail, authorities said.

The female officer was crossing California Avenue near 30th Street at about 11 p.m., when a van struck her in the roadway, according to Cook County sheriff's spokesman Frank Bilecki, citing very early reports.

The impact pushed the officer into oncoming traffic, where she was struck and pinned underneath a second vehicle, Bilecki said. The gray van, described as having blue and white stripes, fled the scene, authorities said.

The officer was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, said Bilecki and Chicago police.

--------------------------------

But it's all okay right?

Because we must have the guy on one of the speed trap cams, red light cams, pod cams, prison cams?

So we can mail the person their traffic ticket, their cuffs, and the phone number to the local Cease Fire office so they can turn themselves in. The politicos can all show up for a photo-op with their alligator tears talking about how they will bring the perp to justice.

Why don’t we do what the State Police do?For a few weeks, they have had the number of traffic related deaths on the sign on the Dan Ryan.For weeks it was in the 600’s. The last number I remembered was 633.

All of a sudden, WHAMO! The number went down to 513.

The Illinois State Police are GOOD folks; they actually revived from the dead over a hundred people! I want to see McCarthy top that shit!

Three cheers to the boss who had a meltdown at one of the many meetings. He began complaining about the computer programs not 'talking' to each other and ended with a rant about how we are using technology and programs from the 90's.

read the order issued on 16 july 12, interesting it has a publication date of 16 July 12 (Sunday) and is it hilarious!!! Full of tree huggin, and jazz hand signals. one line goes something like this, "Don't' make me arrest you, because I will", hahahahahDr Evil would be proud of whoever authored this

This new strategy is a total waste of time. It is completely useless, just like McCarthy. I can't believe that gold stars still follow this idiot after being a speaker at st Sabina church and saying that he went to a crime scene and spent bullets were getting stuck to his shoe. What type of idiot walks thru a crime scene, then says why Sarah palin wasn't with him at the crime scene. He is a completely useless just like everybody one else below him not putting a stop to his stupidity.

These people have no strategy because they have no fucking clue. The same as that amateur ObaMAO bungling sensitive military operations for political gain. Or did the public forget how he broadcast the Bin Laden killing before fully exploiting the intelligence gathered?

But you just keep voting for that communist democratic machine, folks. They know so much more than you do about how to live right.

It's nothing more than a compilation of the individual strategies and programs (some that worked, others that didn't) that we have done for the last 10 years. He rolled them all together and now it's a "comprehensive plan"

All we are doing is putting cars down longer. We are doing more reports that detectives should be doing but guess what they don't have the manpower either.I like the theory of gang bangers and bonding, gonna love answering that in federal court. Didn't we just lose 8 million to the asshole protestors for violating the 14th amendment?

Ok here's a clue Gary old man .any copper working can tell you what gangs are where and we can tell you where and when the "conflicts" will blow up we know the reasons gangs fight the blacks the browns the yellows ..years ago we had semi control and they feared us because Everyday we went after them. we hit their tips we hit their homes and anytime they disrespected us they got violated..every copper where I worked had their surveillance gear. their CIs ..their wolf packs.. used trogan horses. If the Shorties got out of pocket we went to the shot callers and advised them of the heat we'd bring down if "they" didn't handle it ..but somewhere along the line "bosses" decided this wasn't acceptable and started hammering us for "working" and then started beat integrity then zones then corners we got tied to the radio hell back then Sgt s would monitor and code out bullshit calls that were assigned to us ..ahh I digress ..data doesn't police the streets and alleys of this city we do ..but I fear the being the police days are long gone...LIFM

Don't forget that the new order creates a DISTRICT INTELLEGENCE OFFICER( to be picked be commander supposedly).

Another clouted inside job staffed by the least qualified phone caller. What a joke. I guess McFlurry Ideas must be tired of screaming at useless commanders that he can't get rid of because of clout so now he's going to start in the DIOs.

Chicago's gang violence has received more national attention in the Christian Science Monitor:http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2012/0718/In-Chicago-heat-and-homicide-stoke-fear-and-frustrationIn Chicago, heat and homicide stoke fear and frustrationChicago's surging murder rate is now four times that of New York. With drug cartels battling for turf and gang warfare turning chaotic, how can the Windy City get a handle on its homicides?By Mark Guarino, Staff writer / July 18, 2012

Read it. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There part in there about completing debriefing form after "charging" someone with Justifiable Homicide. Excuse me sir, but could please explain this one. WTF? Who the fuck approved this order? McGoof can't you take a hint? You can put all the new statagies out as you see fit, but we are not doing it. Because A) you're a jag off who thinks hes better because hes from new york (Im sorry I should be calling you Gun Magnet) B) One minute you're telling us not to offend the community by our brand of street stops yet you crying about contact cards and C) well fuck it, I'm not wasting my breath...Oak Brook Mall might be looking for head of security, maybe thats more your speed.

Leave it to the National Post in Canada to show us just how bad is the drug smuggling tsunami that is hitting America and floods the streets of our fair City.You won't see something like this coming from our own press, or Washington for that matter, during this election cycle. Ironically, I just read how the Feds shut down an intelligence center, which tracked these cartels. Don't want to cause any "undue" alarm by exposing the whole truth. http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/07/13/mexican-drug-cartels-spreading-influence-graphic/Graphic: Mexican drug cartels’ spreading influenceThank you Jonathon Rivait, Richard Johnson of the National Post.

yea I thought I was the only one who noticed that too. I don't remember the specific numbers but do recall it being in the 600's, then to see it in the 500's I was like WTF?

Solution #5 - Increase the use, and increase the budget on funds to pay reliable informants. Money talks when dealing with this guys.We will get more guns which might mean Less Murders.

Solution #6 - Eliminate the college requirement to come on the job. Going to community college for 60hrs does not make you a better Police Officer. Many High School Grads have tons of life experience and common sense.

Instead of 5,000 people taking the Police Exam we could go back to 20,000 taking the exam. You get more talented people.

Make the entrance exam harder. Stop dumbing it down. Everyone should compete.

Solution #7 - Make promotional exams legitimate. It's not easy working in extreme conditions knowing that your advancement on the Dept is probably a pipe dream unless you are connected.

Solution #8 - If you have a bad boss, move them or hide them. They were a mistake to get promoted. The gold braids should deal with them, not the troops.

Good bosses get results. They are respected.

Solution #9 - Have bosses talk more at role call about catching bad guys, not indexes.

Solution #10 - Only have the Superintendent go to see Father Phony if he is going to take HIS CONFESION about what he knows about crimes committed under the Veil of Religion.

His speeches at the church are morale killers.

Solution #11 - Have the Mayor pay the Pension Fund the money the CITY OWES going back years. When both sides are PAID UP (we are)and on equal footing, only then can we solve the funding problem going forward.

REASON FOR #11

It's an ADDED DISTRACTION when the copper on the street knows the CITYis trying to DEMINISH BOTH CURRENT AND FUTURE BENEFITS.

Solution #12 - Have Inspectors back off on minor infractions. It's nonsense and it contributes nothing. Cut down the number of inspectors and have the extra Lts supervise SHOOTING TEAMS to respond when someone is shot in addition to the normal process.

like Rahm Emmanuel couldn't raise $200 million from private sponsors? this would be a drop in the bucket. he could do it in a heartbeat if he had to in order to get himself re-elected. so why not do it to improve our city instead of letting it go down the toilet?

our mayor reminds me of a deadbeat dad- walking around with rolls of hundreds in his pockets but never having money for needs of the family that is every citizen of the City of Chicago. perhaps city hall should check its own pockets?

why is crime up? why are gangs being allowed to overrun the city? why is tourism down? why are businesses continually failing here and boarding up? large and small? why are buses overloaded like sardine cans? why is graffiti all over this damn city NOT being removed? why aren't there enough cops? why is Rahm anti-union and anti-law enforcement but pro ceasefire which hires drug users? why is marijuana use now only ticketed when joints are now laced with cocaine and heroin? why are beach lifeguards not there half the time and why are citizens the ones doing CPR on drowning victims? why are our streets more filthy as NYC's now? why is trash piling up in our alleys? why is the city being overrun by rats? why are our city parks green areas drying up like deserts during this drought? why in the hell are we still paying alderpeople, why are we wasting precious money on their salaries and not on cop's salaries when everyone knows the alderpeople don't do shit?

btw, why are there fewer American flags flying in the City of Chicago?

just curious

7/18/2012 11:02:00 PM=We should all cut and paste this post to every 'news' outlet that allows comments to be posted online. This little gem sums it up in a way even the voters of Chicago can understand.

Had some dumb bitch out with a video camera last night AFTER a foot chase. We arrived shortly after the original officers lost sight of dipshit, and several patrol cars were still in the area. So I see this woman with a camera in hand and I ask what she is filming exactly, her answer was as follows:"I understand that y'all were chasing a boy you believed had a gun. I understand from some neighbors that the boy did not have a gun, and this is just another man hunt by y'all."

I then asked what she seems to think is so important to film at this point since the foot chase was called off? Her response:

"This is important because I believe this is just another attempt by y'all to exterminate our youth."

Now I don't know if she meant the police, white guys, or white police, but either way it is this sick twisted mentality coupled with several other factors destroying the black community. Pull your fucking heads out of the sand, open your fucking eyes, and take responsibility for the bullshit going on all around your neighborhoods. I have NO personal attachment to your neighborhood, and I am only there because I am paid to be there, and due to HIGH crime rates required to be there.

Enough ranting, to sum it all up,

GET FUCKED YOU SAVAGES and every last one you that support, defend, hide, protect, or any other way enable these animals to destroy our society as a whole.

all good suggestions, and can be expanded upon...maybe GMac could have a meeting with folks (P.O.'s, Sgt.'s, Lt.'s) who are older, more senior and experienced, and who have no vested interest in a promotion, or a re-assignment.....they would offer honest opinions as to what programs work, which do not, which are political, and which, frankly, are horseshit...that's not to say that GMac would listen, or act on the suggestions and ideas (or be able to get them by the mope on the 5th floor), but at least he would have an opportunity to hear some ideas, for whatever that's worth....

Who gives a fuck? Don't you get it Officer? Let them KILL,KILL,KILL!

Never going to change and you will end up fired, sued or in jail for trying to stop it.

We do not have enough people in the Department to fully implement this horse shit strategy. I could see this going way south when my witnesses tell me a completely different story of events then they told the Gang/Tact guys. My supps may end up giving a different version of events then what the gang guys submitted. Can anyone see this becoming an issue in court? When all reports submitted for a particular case are discoverable?

absolutely, but if you have a guy in the new DIO position he/she should know that you dont submit a thing until a detective working the case has read it over. And you never submit anything until a few days after so that the dics can get it sorted out first. but hey, that might make to much sense to some people to do right??? But then again... how many of these shootings actually get cleared in the first place by arrest? not many at all. Obviously not because of the dets work but because of the savages not cooperating in the first place. but I know what your saying. If everyone is smart about it then it shouldnt be an issue. but your right, some hot shot will submit a report 10 min after a shooting and send it to the supts office.

well the best way to handle this order is thisDo It.do everything by the book step by stepwho knows it might actually runinto over time:)(14 million)just follow procedureand when they cry Hey it's Procedurethe Best way to screw these Twois do everything by the Book and by the contractthey can't do a thingwhen they see everyone slowing up they will drop it has there ever been a figure posted for the cost of police for NATO?Has there ever been a figure posted for the cost of police for the Taste?remeber just follow every step of procedure one at a time

I can answer the ISP question. See they had command counting at Compstat meetings. Using fingers and toes. Then a couple of them Commanders retired. Less fingers and toes to use for counting. So less deaths!!! Its easy...you should try this strategy.

I got a strategy. Why doesn't the 019 district unload about 100 police officers!

The district is slow and you have districts like 8, 15, 11, etc etc with less manpower!

7/19/2012 07:03:00 PM

While they're at it can we please get some of those bodies in 010 on 1st watch, we're being run rampant in this place. You would think the bosses downtown would realize that 10 beat cars and a wagon a night isn't gonna solve any crimes or ago. Batts, sorry "shootings". It's domestics stacked on top of battery in progress and gang disturbances all night long

all good suggestions, and can be expanded upon...maybe GMac could have a meeting with folks (P.O.'s, Sgt.'s, Lt.'s) who are older, more senior and experienced, and who have no vested interest in a promotion, or a re-assignment.....they would offer honest opinions as to what programs work, which do not, which are political, and which, frankly, are horseshit...that's not to say that GMac would listen, or act on the suggestions and ideas (or be able to get them by the mope on the 5th floor), but at least he would have an opportunity to hear some ideas, for whatever that's worth....

7/19/2012 03:53:00 PM=And it would really help if those guys wore very short skirts and unbuttoned the top two buttons on their shirts.

Why doesn't anyone see the big picture?? You work 1st watch in 010. We all have worked first watch somewhere. You r in a backlog?? Who gives a fuck. Send the damn bodies to 016, 017. Make it somewhat worthwhile for us and the rest of the taxpayers to live in this city!!! There is no police service in 016. I don't believe that all the 016 police are dogasses, but when you've waited 20 min on an assist po call you can then understand the frustration... I have needed help and called the desk or a po working in my district to go on zone 1 and ask for assistance. Send the excess to 016.
